Overcoming ‘Isms’ in Your Workplace
Commentary: What I have seen—and what I’ve lived—tells me that many people in our culture face hardships in their lives and workplaces not because they lack talents and skills, but because others don’t make the effort to really see them or allow them to succeed. When others define you by your slanted eyes, it limits your potential. But it limits their potential too, and that’s the message I bring to businesses. In organizations overrun by racism, sexism and other rampant ‘isms,’ everyone loses.

RECENT FORUM POST
Do You Tell Them or Not?
A member writes: ""I sent an applicant for a drug screening a week ago and it came back positive. We can no longer offer this person a position with us and he/she doesn't know this yet.

Dear Workforce

A question-and-answer newsletter addressing some of the most common and most obscure HR. Ask a question about whatever's important to you—whether it's HR, recruiting, benefits, compensation, or training.

Don’t accept employee complaints at face value. Unhappy employees often use pay issues as an excuse for why they are leaving. There may be other nonpay issues that need attention.
Use published surveys and other data to gauge where employee salary ranges stack up against the marketplace.

 

Special Report:

Executive Compensation—HR's Missed Opportunity
Despite the intense scrutiny around executive pay, few HR leaders are stepping up to get involved in compensation issues.
